Plot and Inspect Signals in Trace, Periodogram, and Histogram

Usage

diagnose_signal(
  s1,
  s2 = NULL,
  sc = NULL,
  srate,
  name = "",
  try_compress = TRUE,
  max_freq = 300,
  window = ceiling(srate * 2),
  noverlap = window/2,
  std = 3,
  cex = 1.5,
  lwd = 0.5,
  flim = NULL,
  nclass = 100,
  main = "Channel Inspection",
  col = c("black", "red"),
  which = NULL,
  start_time = 0,
  boundary = NULL,
  mar = c(5.2, 5.1, 4.1, 2.1),
  ...
)

Arguments

s1

Signal for inspection

s2

Signal to compare, default NULL

sc

compressed signal to speedup the trace plot, if not provided, then either the original s1 is used, or a compressed version will be used. See parameter try_compress.

srate

Sample rate of s1, note that s2 and s1 must have the same sample rate

name

Analysis name, for e.g. "CAR", "Notch", etc.

try_compress

If length of s1 is too large, it might take long to draw trace plot, my solution is to down-sample s1 first (like what Matlab does), and then plot the compressed signal. Some information will be lost during this process, however, the trade-off is the speed. try_compress=FALSE indicates that you don't want to compress signals under any situation (this might be slow).

max_freq

Max frequency to plot, should be no larger than half of the sampling rate.

window

Window length to draw the Periodogram

noverlap

Number of data points that each adjacent windows overlap

std

Error bar (red line) be drawn at standard deviations, by default is 3, meaning the error bars represent 3 standard deviations.

cex, lwd, mar, ...

passed to plot.default

flim

log10 of frequency range to plot

nclass

Number of classes for histogram

main

Plot title

col

Color for two signals, length of 2.

which

Which sub-plot to plot

start_time

When does signal starts

boundary

Boundary for signal plot, default is 1 standard deviation

Examples

library(stats)
time <- seq(0, 100, by = 1/200)
s2 <- sin(2 * pi * 60 * time) + rnorm(length(time))
diagnose_signal(s2, srate = 200)

#> $ylim
#> [1] 4.431596
#> 
#> $boundary
#> [1] 3.674513
#> 

# Apply notch filter
s1 = notch_filter(s2, 200, 58,62)
diagnose_signal(s1, s2, srate = 200)

#> $ylim
#> [1] 3.755492
#> 
#> $boundary
#> [1] 2.98199
